Gamers complaining about their NBA 2K rankings has been a summer time custom within the league over latest years. Much less frequent is to have gamers griping about their friends’ rankings, which is what occurred earlier this week when Jaren Jackson Jr. was requested about Nikola Jokic‘s 97 OVR within the widespread basketball online game.
Jaren Jackson Jr. and Trey Murphy react to Nikola Jokic’s NBA 2K25 score 🤣
JJJ: “I want I had 3 MVPs and also you give me a 97. I might low key be mad.”
Murphy: “I don’t suppose he cares in any respect.”

It was shocking to us as effectively to see Jokic’s score drop some extent after an MVP season, so we determined to research if there’s a sample there with NBA 2K undervaluing the Serbian famous person.
Seems, you can also make a case there’s.
We went and in contrast gamers’ league rating by way of NBA 2K score to their rating in HoopsHype’s International Ranking metric for the previous 15 seasons, figuring out the biggest disparities.
Amongst gamers with a minimum of 5 years within the league, Nikola Jokic had the biggest disparity between his preseason NBA 2K score and his precise International Ranking for that yr. Much more telling: He was underrated relative to his International Ranking eight seasons in a row.
All-Star DeMar DeRozan got here second on the listing, however a distant one.
